The Archaeology of Hindu Ritual: Temples and the Establishment of the Gods
Willis, Michael (Curator, British Museum, London)
Willis examines how the gods of early Hinduism came to be established in temples, how their cults were organized, and how the ruling elite supported their worship. Examining the emergence of these key historical developments, Willis combines Sanskrit textual evidence with archaeological data from inscriptions, sculptures, temples, and sacred sites.
